I only have one complaint, it's too short. I just wanted it to keep going. Delighted to have come across this.

Fantastic

Came across this while looking for something else on Audible, its a fun quick read and a great addition to the Rivers Of London series

cute short story

A potentially intriguing storyline rather spoiled by its brevity. Its big advantage is that the bare bones of the plot are laid bare in very short order but the themes introduced need developing more deeply and expansively. Leaves much to be pondered.

Curiously unfulfilling.

Great little short story to fill a quiet half an hour, interesting and fun. Good for most ages.

Good fun
